[QUOTE="hypo hanna, post: 1110673, member: 42600"] That is a big part of the problem and why I think it will have to be the newer employees who will have to take the lead on organizing. They are not as likely to have mortgages and kids in school. They are young enough that they have a better chance at finding another job should they be targeted by the fedex anti union goon squads . They also have many mores years to gain over the course of their careers from union representation. The older drivers still have a roll to play aside from signing their cards and voting when the time comes and that is to slow down. We have much more experiance with the ways of fedex and can do it with less risk then a new hire. As you guys say, "work as directed". This would be doubly effective if you guys go out on strike this summer. If FedEx drivers were to start an active union movement and combine it with a slowdown at the same time it would cripple FedEx. They simply don't have the managerial resources to handle it. Throw in the tidal wave of packages from customers because you guys are out and it would be a perfect storm. [/QUOTE]
